Context of 1 Thessalonians 4:10
8He therefore that [in this] disregards [his brother], disregards, not man, but God, who has given also his Holy Spirit to you. 9Now concerning brotherly love ye have no need that we should write to you, for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another. For also ye do this towards all the brethren in the whole of Macedonia; but we exhort you, brethren, to abound still more, 11and to seek earnestly to be quiet and mind your own affairs, and work with your [own] hands, even as we charged you, 12that ye may walk reputably towards those without, and may have need of no one.
